One of my favourite matches of all time.

Thought I'd share this with everyone.

I first saw this on the Breakdown 98 on a tape my folks got me from HMV when I got hit by a car when I was 9 and was stuck in bed for a week, so I watched it multiple times.

It's a triple threat cage match for number one contender between Shamrock, Mankind and The Rock.

It also has one of the best Mankind promos ever.

why did the WWE stop using the bar-type cages?

Two reasons I think. The chain link has far more give to it, so it's safer. Plus, the main camera angle can see through the chain link easier too.

I much prefer the bar cage though. It looks more menacing

Wow I wish matches could be like that again. Guys like The Rock & Mankind as under cards.

The great part was the way they played the entire thing out. Excellent finish and it played to the characters of all 3 men throughout the match. That is the simple thing that is missing from a lot of the current matches/story lines.
